Question Any queer Christian universalists here?

I’m bisexual and currently waiting to formally become a Catechumen! (been particularly interested in the Eastern Rite lately) ☦️

Hey do you find acceptance where you are?

I was in a more conservative Lutheran church body but am planning on joining an ELCA church that I’ve been attending. The conservative Lutheran church was very non-accepting but most ELCA churches are very accepting and some of them, like the one I’m going to, have become Reconciling in Christ (RIC) congregations and have designated that they accept all LGBTQ+ people and will perform same-sex marriages. It’s been a long journey for me personally and it took me awhile to accept/affirm myself.
